Leave your cabin again and head left to where Finn is talking to two people wearing masks. Talk to the grandma in the pink mask first, then the grandpa in the blue mask, and they will switch seats. Look at the "Finn" movie poster (2/9) on the wall. Now go through to the next cabin to find a "Gasp" movie poster (3/9).

Take the first photograph from the back of the tree. Find the second photograph on a low table to the right. Inspect the guitar on the left Guitar man. The third photograph is on the right wall a little further along. Go forward again and enter a greenhouse Green Fingered. Pick up the final photograph on a shelf around to the right.

Leave your cabin and follow Finn out to the left until he closes the door. Now turn around and go to the janitor's closet, where you can take a key from within a jacket pocket. Use this to unlock the door that Finn just closed, then go through. Inspect the "Hush" movie poster (5/9) on the wall to the left.

Now you again need to find matching pairs of characters and dialog. Talk to the boy with the yellow pig mask, then the teacher standing up on a chair in one of the cabins.

Look in the cabins on the left to find a newspaper, a toy bunny (4/7), and a notepad Doodle dandy. Close the small sliding window outside the first cabin while you are here.

Fire

Continue forward and Finn will set your old belongings on fire. Use your newspaper on the fire to create a torch. Walk back with your lit torch into the previous car and use it to melt the lock on the fire extinguisher case (if your torch blows out, you forgot to close the window, so do this and then go and light the torch again). Pick up the fire extinguisher and carry it back to the fire, then use it on the fire to put it out. Look at the "The Storm and Revelation" movie poster (7/9) on the left wall.

Continue forward until Finn starts another fire, then walk into it and draw it up Fire Starter. Walk forward until you reach the brazier, then add your fire. Now climb up the ladder.
